From Lagos to London, via Lille, France, the AfroZen Orchestra's debut 7-inch breaks new grounds in terms of mixing traditional African rhythms with modern, upfront beats and breaks.
French producer and dj Housatonic's tight groove, sprinkled with fiery saxophones, uplifting guitars, insane percussions and balaphone, and sparkled with Centrafrican singer Chancellor Dedianga's catchy lyrics and amazing background vocals, all combines into a dizzying maelstrom of positive energy --- a higher state of consciousness?
"Highlife and afrobeat meet house and broken beats in this heavyweight floorfiller. Uplifting vocals, insane percussion, roaring saxophones: the sweat from the hot African sun subtly blends with the sweat from urban dancefloors worldwide... Salty!" (James E. Blunted, Rolling Stoned Magazine)
"Dense dance music!" (Chuck U. Farley, Vacuity Fair)
Big production! Future Afrobeat is a killer! Fast and furious but perfect for serious dancing crowds! Respect on it all! DOMU
Killer tune! DJ Bobbito Garcia
‘Tongana’ is the fantastic B-side to AfroZen Orchestra’s new single. The afrobeat rhythms are enhanced by some awesome twangin’ slap-bass, heavenly vocals and a generally sun-drenched carnival sound. Ryan McAvoy/Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
